The best Vietnamese in the city, by far. It's not in our neighborhood, but if you like Pho, etc, worth the trip. New Orleans has a strong Vietnamese community, so there's some decent eats that come with that, and Lily's is top shelf. Very affordable, too.

You have to drive out there, but totally worth it to hike the short trails. You can walk down a boardwalk over the swamp, or walk along some ancient trails to see ancient alligators in the wild. You also may still be able to canoe out there, check with the ranger station on that. Totally worth it.
